Life

Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans.

Understanding a Relationship

What ultimately defines a relationship, is another relationship.

Thought for the Day

Sometimes we are so busy helping others with their lives that we save our lives for later.

How do you know when it's right ?!!!

In matters of the heart how does one know when it’s right? Is being comfortable with someone a sign that they are right for you or is it a sign that there is no chemistry? Is liking someone a good enough reason to marry them or should you feel passionately about them? Is being able to talk to someone important for a marriage or is it more important to be with someone whom you find it difficult to stop talking to? Is having a well educated mate more important that having a considerate one? Is having the same interests important or is it opposites which attract? Is it more important to find someone you can live with or someone you can’t live without? Is it better to be with someone who never disagrees with you or someone whom you fight with regularly? Is coming from the same type of family background and value system important enough for you to marry someone for those reasons or is it just a pre-requisite? Is a relationship which looks good on paper as good in real life? Is hesitation a sign that this is not the right person for you or is it a sign that you are just not ready for commitment?

I’ve thought about it a lot and I think maybe there are no right answers, right moments or right guys. Maybe you just have to go with your heart….

Relationships

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and I feel that at the end of the day all that anyone really wants, is to be close to someone. So while most of us who have been hurt make appearances about keeping our distance it’s all an eye wash. For at some point you have to make a decision, because making boundaries doesn’t really keep other people out, it just fences you in.

So instead of wasting your life drawing lines and making up excuses to keep people out, it’s just easier to go out there and meet new people. And as you get to know people better, you’ll find that there are certain people who stick by you no matter what happens and those are the people you need to identify and hold on to. Those are the ones worth keeping.

And yes, there is the chance that you will get hurt. But maybe we all need some pain, maybe we are just made that way. Otherwise we wouldn’t know a good thing when we saw it.

So at the end of the day, there are some relationships which we would sooner forget, some which we can’t keep silent about, some which we keep to ourselves, but every now and then there comes one which just speaks for itself!

Love

It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.

Lies

A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.

Happiness

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.
